Dairy Free

With so many wonderful dairy-free options out there now, it is easier than ever to convert a dairy-based recipe to a non-dairy recipe with zero sacrifice to texture or flavor.  Here you will find my dairy-free recipes, ranging from dairy-free dessert recipes to dairy-free milk with cashews.

A whirl of sweet hydration is just what I need as hotter days move in or, as it turns out, even when they don't—I've been making this blueberry-almond smoothie every day, rain or shine, brisk or balmy. // alexandracooks.com

Healthy Blueberry-Almond Smoothie
This freekeh salad is my favorite kind of recipe, one whose assembly is fluid — as the vegetables roast in the oven, the freekeh cooks stovetop, and you make the dressing — and whose payoff is big: minimal mess and a meal that's at once light and comforting. // alexandracooks.com

Freekeh Salad with Roasted Kale & Cabbage
Leblebi, a North African chickpea stew, is swirled with a smoky harissa and made with water instead of stock or cream thanks to slow sweating of the onion, brief toasting of the spices, and thoughtful layering of herbs and garnishes. Delicious! // alexandracooks.com

Homemade Cashew Milk | Cashew Milk Chia Pudding
This two-lentil dal is delicious and couldn't be simpler to throw together: sweat an onion, add spices (cumin, coriander fennel, turmeric and crushed red pepper flakes) and lentils, cover with water, simmer until done. The result, a happy mix of creamy and chunky, like a partially puréed soup, will be very welcomed at the table. // alexandracooks.com
